Buy an HTC VIVE and get Fallout 4 VR for free

Experience the post apocalyptic world of Fallout in VR

If you've been on the fence about buying a VR headset, as in, you're still not sure which one to buy … HTC's VIVE or Oculus' Rift, HTC might have the deal for you. As of right now, if you buy an HTC VIVE, the official VR system for Steam, you'll receive a copy of Fallout 4 VR for FREE, when it launches on December 12.

That's not a bad deal as Fallout 4 VR will retail for $59.99 when it releases and you know that you're going to want a killer app for your new VR setup, as freeware and demos will only satisfy you for so long. There are a few caveats, however, like you must be 18 or over to redeem the Fallout 4 VR code, with that being the case, we've attached the official press release below for your review.

The HTC VIVE still retails for $599, but includes the headset and controllers and by all accounts, seems like the better setup compared to the Oculus Rift, as it has the official support of Valve on Steam, on top of the room scaling technology and more.

HTC VIVE is glad to announce that starting today, October 2nd, customers who purchase an HTC Vive, will receive a free redemption code for Fallout 4 VR, a $59.99 value, which launches on December 12, 2017 (vive.com/fallout4-vr). Fallout 4, the legendary post-apocalyptic adventure from Bethesda Game Studios and winner of more than 200 ‘Best Of’ awards, including the DICE and BAFTA Game of the Year, and most recently ‘Best Virtual Reality Game’ at gamescom 2017, finally comes in its entirety to VR. Fallout 4 VR includes the complete core game with all-new combat, crafting, and building systems fully reimagined for virtual reality. “Fallout 4 VR is the most anticipated title for VR this holiday, and the game development team at Bethesda Game Studios is delivering on the promise with a full-length AAA open-world game that takes advantage of Vive’s incredible room-scale immersion for a mind-blowing experience in the Wasteland,” said Joel Breton, GM of Vive Studios. “The promise of a game with near endless content, including hundreds of locations, characters, and quests, fully playable in VR, is something that we have been focused on providing for the VR gaming community. We are now thrilled to provide this incredible game to new Vive owners and eagerly look forward to game’s launch on Vive this December.” The freedom of exploring the wasteland comes alive like never before when experienced using Vive’s superior room-scale technology.
